3674. 'And Isaac sent Jacob away' means the beginning of the manifestation [of the Divine Natural]. This is clear from the fact that Jacob now comes to represent the good of truth, and so represents the beginning of the manifestation of the Lord's Divine Natural. Indeed things said below regarding Jacob's stay with Laban contain those matters. Consequently 'Isaac sent Jacob away' means the beginning of that manifestation.
